How audable is this guitar non-amped?

Its actually has pretty good voice unamped not anything to compete with an acoustic... i also put some extra light elixir strings on mine and the added timbre almost makes it like a baritone guitar...

No it is not. Not worth the money. Go with mtx or something that has real power also. These are bad amps

As the others have said, there was no setup required. I just tuned it. I am not a left-handed player, so I have not actually "played" this guitar. However, it all seemed fine to me right out of the box. The action and intonation were good.

I don't really know, to be honest. I imagine you can, but you"ll have to keep it on a clean amp and tone.

It will play but it will hardly move and it will probably be too quiet to hear. I'd get an amp rated for at least 600watts rms.

Should be able to! You can use an amp. These guitars sound great hooked up to an amp!!

The guitar can be played without and amp and cable, but it won't be easy to hear. Your granddaughter will enjoy the guitar much more if she has at least a small practice amp (and cable) to go with it. Cheers!

I'm not qualified to say. I don't play it myself , I bought it for my daughter and was able to tune it up and after strings were broken in it's holding its tuning and sounds good and resonant to me. I will say that if it is not good for your level you could easily resell it and not lose much money .

I would guess so . It is fretless. Available to ship at Max's Guitar Store.

Wow. That's a pretty vintage guitar and very special. It has a completely different style of pickup. I would try to restore the guitar very close to its original state. I would try to buy an original Gibson pickup that's designed for that type of guitar or even a boutique pickup, if that's the case.

An electric guitar can be played without an amp...but it will be very quiet. I recommend picking up a small amp to start off with.

It honestly compares pretty well surprisingly. I set the action on mine pretty low and get great sound without any fret buzz. I picked up this guitar to have as an extra I could get a little rough with and not have to worry about it so much at its price. It actually sounds better than my 400 dollar Schecter.

It's really just an acoustic guitar that has a 1/4" jack so I can be plugged into an amp. You couldn't really shed with any distortion on this because it only has one pickup. Does this help?

It's a guitar amp not power amp. It would be like using a blender to mash potatos. It can be done but it's not made for that purpose.

Well..you cannot plug this guitar into an amp. However, there are some handful websites that show you how to modify the guitar, but there is a chance that the guitar will be broken. Hope this help

Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost. It sounds very low without an amp, as many other solid bodies, however, while travelling, I used my iPad for a large variety of tones at room level, and it worked very well. A small battery power amp works well, too. If you use a large amp, it sounds fine, however it is relatively clean/dry, as expected from any piezo pickup. There are several videos on YouTube that show show you how to restring it very easily.The neck is similar to my Tele ´63 reissue or Les Paul 60s neck. It is confortable and the fretwork is excellent. I don´t think you can make a better electric guitar of this size and weight. Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost.

It is NOT an acoustic guitar amp so it has no balanced line in and only limited EQ. I'd pass.
